There is going to be lodging at the church.

Cool. I'll see if I can't get that weekend clear. I was really hoping for earlier in June, any reason its not?
-
I think that a group will be carpooling down from the cities. Whether or not that includes me is unsure as of yet.

if you could estimate numbers, I'm sure Scott would be happy. we were trying to think of past states last week...

we'll have to practice a bit. neither of us had played much during the school year because we actually want good grades. ;)

No reason to play wii when you can nolife 360 >:c

amen. I honestly think I play Sager's 360 more then I play my wii. well, was. I barely ever played my wii during school.
-
I'd offer to bring an xbox to state, but the only decent multi player games are inappropriate for the young'uns there.
-
Halo, CODWAW, CODMW2.........
-
Yeah. A 9 year old should really go around shooting people with a shotgun. The only decent game that I'd consider appropriate would be rock band TBH.

Or, the Dora game, but I don't think that's multiplayer. ;D hahaha

I'll bring my computer. Age of Empires 1 ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill, don't. Andrew might get addicted, he doesn't know how fun computer games are beings he has a mac.
:laugh:

...
I still have both 1 and 2. I could steal my mom's computer and install it and play multiplayer! bwahahahaha. except mom has forbidden games on her computer...
I still play it from time to time at a friends house. multiplayer FTW.
-
Hey,
I'll bring my computer. Age of Empires 1 ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
We made a "TV Commercial" for Age of Empires as a homework assignment when I was in 8th grade. It was a pretty good game, but Civilization II is much better.
Will we be able to sleep at the church?

LIES! I was addicted to Civilization II for a long time, but because Age of Empires isn't turn based, it's much more intense.

Update. just confirmed schedule and found out there will be lodging at the church.

Hey Ring Wraith
Ask your Dad about our epic Space Invaders battles at the MSU arcade back in the day(1983) It was a blast intill I learned how to break the game. Then we switched to Racquetball.
-
Nice. I will try to be there.
One question, though--why no Sealed? I can think of a (admittedly small) number of Minnesotans who absolutely adore this event.
-
I checked the rules and it is not officially a double-post if almost a month separates the posts. ;)
Question: I have heard rumors that players will be able to play both T2-MP and TEAMS. Oh please oh please oh please let this be true. Would anyone official care to comment?
-
Query for you Matt - What is your planned route down to Austin - Is there any possibility of picking me up on the way?

You're right. Its a necropost.

That is what Scott (host) told me today. I was as shocked as you, I was excited at the fact I wouldn't see any ANBs beings you're going to play teams. That killed my hope.
-
Erm....?? You've obviously never played T2 Multi with Me. Regardless, you sat right next to me at the T2 Only Local. Matt isn't the only ANB happy player in MN :)
-
Oh fine. Less ANBs.
Infact, ANB probably helps me. 21 heroes in a 36 card offense, most of them are FBTN or banding.
-
Sites all the way in type 2 Multi.
-
I mightt be able to make it; it depends on when the tourney ends on saturday. I soooo hope I can come I know it'll be great!!
-

There will probably still be people there until 10, but you should be able to leave at like 3 if you don't wanna play booster.
-

Would you like some cheese with your whine?
They've errata'ed the card twice and still whine, cry, pout. Reach + AoCP? Sorry guys, you'll have to wait for five years to get some more counters out there. Too bad, but there is nothing nothing more that can be done about that. Trying to neuter ANB, on the other hand...
How long has House of Rimmon been out? How long have you been able to place the Color Guard in a green site? Have you put either in your deck? If you don't like people playing so many ANBs then maybe you should provide an incentive for people to stop playing them.
-
What does ANB stand for again?
Any Newbie’s Beginning (Translation, if you haven’t learned the game good enough to become competitive use ANB) ;)

You're trying to defend a murderer! Reach + AoCP is absolutely nothing. Theres a million protect forts to save your characters, and another million ways to win the battle. Unholy Writ? Unknown Nation? The Gates of Hell? One of the 90 dominants? Philly Outpost? Magic Charms? Site Guard Soul? Need I go on? Infact, in my last 3 type 2 tournaments, I can count how many AOCPs were played without taking my shoes off! And less than half of them won a battle! There are too many counters that completely destroys aocp, it does nothing!
Whereas ANB has no counters! Ooh, I get to protect my evil characters in play, souls if I have thorns out. Even above that, those aren't very hard counters to stop! An exchanger or rescue stops you dead, not to mention that you can only have 2 of the same soul in a "normal" t2 deck. And fortresses? Yeah, those are so hard to get rid of....
You're just looking for excuses to try and play solitaire!
-
ANB has won very few lost souls. now, a first round TSA because of ANB has won mountains of souls.
-
Will we have access to wifi?

depends on how far you're willing to walk! ;)

Well, Matt and I failed to incite a flame war. :(
-
Will we have tv's? Should I bring my xbox?
-

we'll already have a wii there...but yes, there will be a tv. maybe two, now that I think of it...
-
i remember when i brought my 360 to minnesota regionals a couple years back...there was a tv...but no one could figure out how to change the channel to the game. :(
-

you'd have to run that by jc and Wanderer.

Brinkmans brinig a car load and I'm brining a car load. Should be fun.
-
Bring some cards Bill, I need to finish a deck or two before I begin play, I always enjoy trading with you :)
-
I'm going to sit in the corner and play runescape instead of playing, like the cool guy I am. And I guess I can play a few games of brawl....
(I'll still pay the entry fee to get a Haman)

Yeah, I think he promised me his son's inheritance in exchange for a few rares I think. Great deal for me, but I'd hate to be his son. Poor kid.

Yeah, you're totally not talking to the guy who just sold a PoC for 5$ :) I'm pretty sure I traded Bill in his favor massively a time or two also :)

Bring em both, the more people I can convert to Zombie mode the better
-
Should I bring my XBox? Also, is there free wifi so I can play RuneScape?
I'm 150k xp from 99 strength. I should be able to get it there and gloat about it to BB/Bany/JSB.

Yeah Red Dragon Thorn, is always generous when I trade with him. He trades good cards. Not just three local promo's for a Nehustion. I'm pretty wipped out from 4 days of trading cards with all the wee ones at Mini camp. But I should recover on the road trip to State.

System link! System Link!

I don't support an XBox. Honestly, what can you play on it? Rockband? I'm sure Wanderer and jc aren't okay with M games being played, there will be quite a few young children there. Even some T games are questionable.
If anything, I say bring 2 wiis and 2 copies of brawl, beings we've always had to take turns.

I plan on it.
thing is, the younguns are going home to sleep. we have all night! I think Scott would be fine as long as the kiddies aren't around. Jason would probably be skeptical of the idea.
FWIW, Halo was at KC nationals in the main area.
-
I could bring a Wii and Brawl if I need to.
-

you probably don't. Chandler's have a wii, but bring it just in case.
-
Well...the rest of my family uses the Wii, and it's a hastle to have to deal with all the wires and chords and stuff, so if you don't really need it, then I would rather not bring it. But I'll bring Brawl at least, and maybe some other games, too.

In that case yeaaa boi. I'm more of a cod fanboy than halo, though :c.
If we end up being a wii short, I can just run home and get mine.
-
Halo>CoD.
we shouldn't be. the church has one (although I don't think we should use it...), Chandler's have one (Jason might be cautious leaving it with the bunch of us), and I have one (bringing it)
so that's at least 2...
-
World at War >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mw2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any Halo.
Period.
Also, are we playing t2 or teams first? Why am I asking this if both you and Scott are at the church already, and I'll be there before too long?
-
blasphemy. mw2 > everything.
the chief has spoken.
-
Mw2 is too easy. I just run around getting nukes with smoke grenades. I don't use them, of course, as that'd wreck my KDR.
We ended up not playing cod. There was too many little'uns around.
On topic: Blah Blah Blah I didn't get first in anything Blah Blah Blah.
-
plasma's were way too much fun anyway.
stupid Lampy.
-
As it is, I got 2nd in T2-2P and tied for 3rd in booster. I could have gotten first in booster if I hadn't made at least 1 of 3 awful mistakes in the last game:
1. using Korah's Rebellion on the losing guy
2. starting a battle with 11 cards in my hand and the speed bump out
3. NOT banding to Herodias with my Herod Antipas
I started that game 3-0-0, but it ended 4-5-3; I guess I'm just dumb (although I was extremely tired at that time, surprisingly so since I did get 4 or 5 hours of sleep). :P
-
i will be very, very sad if mw2 is not played at regionals. please, for the sake of sanity, please allow mw2. i will be bringing up my new *cough cough stealthbox cough cough* and a copy.
-
You don't need MW2 as long as you have Halo 3
-
halo 3 is slow and archaic. even reach didnt impress me. yes, im pretty sure i need mw2 to live.
-
Agreed on Halo. I still like waw over mw2. Sorry, I don't like a game where a smoke grenade can kill you in one hit, even if you have painkillers (not that I ever get them, beings I get 100% of my kills from martyrdom :P)
Without stopping power.
-
halo 3 is slow and archaic. even reach didnt impress me. yes, im pretty sure i need mw2 to live.
You obviously haven't played Halo with my rules
-
doesnt matter. if halo doesnt have a sprint button, it doesnt get played by me.
-
You don't need MW2 as long as you have Halo 3
Halo isn't even in the same league as MW2. You can have fun playing halo and pwning 5 year olds but I am going to play MW2.
doesnt matter. if halo doesnt have a sprint button, it doesnt get played by me.
If it is M it doesn't get played by JSB :P
-
but halo is m...

but halo is m...
yah I know i was just giving him a hard time about not owning M games.

-

why do you need a sprint button when you're an uber fast, super jumping, invisible zombie!?! and the humans will die if they try to run away anyway...
-
because if everyone is going the same speed, it isnt really sprinting, is it?
-
Ironically sprinting is the easiest wayto die in cod.
-
But everyone isn't going the same speed
(well maybe, if the crunchy humans got to a mongoose in time)
But the zombies can fly which makes up for it
-
For get halo firefly rocks!!!!

not for mlc n00bs.
